THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART?

What are the desires of your heart? Is it money, fame, and all the material things that make life fun and interesting? Or maybe deep family ties and all the love from a spouse and children? How about vibrant health and the energy to accomplish great and envious feats of strength and stamina. How about talent in music and art and literature to impress the world. So many desires and so little time, right? Well, how about a closer relationship with your Creator God who can make these things happen? Not by your own power but by the power of the unseen Holy Spirit of the living God, the Creator of heaven and earth, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33) Your heavenly Father does not want you to be lacking anything in this world. He wants us to be a testimony to His power, majesty and grace. He wants to bless us with all good things so that we can be a blessing to others and demonstrate His kingdom on earth. He said that His kingdom dwells within us. And He uses us to bless others, there by drawing those people closer to Him because they can see His kingdom in us and they want what we have. Peace, love, joy, kindness, mildness, faith, goodness, self-control, and patience. By these fruits of the Spirit, all will know that we belong to Him....These things must be cultivated in order for them to grow inside us. We are the soil, God's Word is the seed and water, The Spirit is the light and power.

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart."   Psalm 37:1-4
